In truth, the Demon King Council was not the only faction filled with regret.
The Sovereign-rank powerhouses of the Eternal Divine Palace, the Treasure-Rich Mountains, the Eternal Summit, and the other factions that had once come into contact with John were also deeply remorseful.
Had they known what he would become, they would have offered him treatment surpassing anything the Skyvault Consortium could provide. Perhaps then, they might have had a chance to recruit him.
Now, however, there was no longer any possibility of drawing John to their side.
The Grand Sovereign of the Eternal Divine Palace grew angrier the more he thought about it.
"Obtaining John alone would have been equivalent to obtaining four supreme-level powerhouses."
"It would have been an unbelievably profitable exchange."
"What a pity that I failed to outbid the Skyvault Consortium."
The powerhouses of the Eternal Sanctum were similarly tempted and could not conceal their envy toward John.
